create unrest in various industries, 31-point reform proposal and upcoming
elections were discussed there.
"After the fall of

parties that were in the simultaneous movement. We want to keep the unity
intact, which was developed during the simultaneous movement," he said.

conspiracies continue in the country's present context. There are conspiracies
to shut different mills and factories including garment factories and medicine
factories, he said.

country remains stable," he said.

the unity of the students-masses in any situation. We want to move forward the
victory of 2024 at any cost with upholding the original spirit of the
